they learned how to hunt together
2.) What decision does Tao tell Volt?
he tells him that from now on he is going to hunt by himself
3.) Write a good paragraph from Volt's perspective.How do you feel about Tao actions & decision?
i think Volt thinks that Tao is not a well mannered boy because he is hunting with the evil sprits which is the the wolf dog and for him that very up-setting because he wants every boy to learn to hunt like a man not with an evil sprits

Chapter 8
A family in D.F.,Mexico had their kids growing up justeating bread & beans for breakfast,lunch & dinner. This family didn't have enough money to live healthy. So the dad and the older brother decided to cross the border illegally.The older son was 15 he of course needed to get money for his schooling.The next moring they were already at Los Angels,California like around 7:00 am .
They earned lots of money working. They send money to their rest of their family.
I think they should be allowed to cross the border because they have the right to have a life to and be able to have the rights like any American does .

Chapter 9
Why do you think Graybeard changed his mind?
i think Graybeard changed his mind because he felt bad for Tao because he can't do paintings cause he is not a choosen one i also think Graybeard changed his mind because he knows Tao can succeed with his drawings because he knows they are every good.
What does this tell you about his character?
This tells me about his character that he is every generous with his knowledge because he is going to teach Tao how to draw & that he's a thoughtful person because he thinks before he says anything or if he already said somthing he thinks about what he did.

Chapter 4
Quote:"what happens when they make actucal release?" page 32
Explanation: Why is releasing so important? How come everyone talks about "actual releases? What is an actual release? Why can't children see when they do an actual release?
Chapter 5
Quote:You're ready for the pills that's all.
Explanation: Why do they have to take the pill until they enter the House of the Old? I'd surely would get very annoied taking the pills everyday! I would probably forget about taking them.
Chapter 6
Quote:The community was so meticulously ordered , the choices so carefully made.
Explanation: I disagree with Jonas because i think the community doesn't make careful choices. I think they are not making careful choices for the community because they are making the 12 year olds and older take a pill that makes them not have feelings for the oppiste sex of them (female or male) .
Chapter 7
Quote:She skipped me , Jonas thought, stunned.

Explanation:why is it forbidden to talk about it? why is it so special that Jonas can't talk about it?
Chapter 12
Quote:There was a lot of colors and one of them was called red.
Explanation: Why won't they know the colors? Did everyone not see colors or did they all saw colors just not know their names?
Chapter 13
Quote:It isn't fair that nothing has color.
Explanation: I agree with Jonas because it's true without color you can't see the beautiful colors and feel how is it to see colos because it's a good thing to see colors.
Chapter 14
Quote:I think it would be a little easier if the memories were shared.
Explanation:I agree with Jonas because it's true it is easier because with ONLY one person keeping all the memories it's to much pain for him or her that's why The Giver has to much pain and now Jonas has to get all the pain and its just not fair I just hope they all get their memories back!
Chapter 15
Quote:The Giver looked away as if he could not bear to see what he had done to Jonas
Explanation: Well i think that it is not The Giver's fault he hurt Jonas because if everyone would have shared the memories there wouldn't be much pain in The Giveer that he'd have to give to Jonas

Chapter 19
Quote:My father killed it!
Explanaton:I thought release meant going to a happy place to eleswhere. How come they kill the new born baby? Its not the baby's fault that he is a twin . It's no ones fault I would be every mad at my father if he'd to do that!
